memnom Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hello folks I think its high time i get a Console, but even after burning a barrel of midnight oil i don't seem to come to a conclusion that would satisfy me. Im a Single Player guy, not into MP (atleast not yet), so i have no problem with the MP part of either of these console. This is what i came up with my searching around... 1. Xbox is easy to mod, therefore the cost of playing would be less at the end of the day. (and i condone piracy ) 2. Xbox has 1+2 year warranty while the PS3 comes out with 1. 3. PS3 has BD and its less prone to disk scratches. 4. PS3 is hardware wise superior to xbox (purely my opinion) 5. The list of exclusives are almost equal for both of them, but i like UC, KZ better than Halo and Gears of War 6. (I think) PS3 does not have region restriction but Xbox has it. 7. I only have a old CRT 29" TV (so no hd), if this helps.. So with these criterion which should be my obvious choice? Please post your Choice of Console and WHY? P.S. PLEASE do not turn this into a mud-slinging contest, i just want a personalized opinion for my particular needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMNTR Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 None of those points really matter at the end of the day, except for point 5, of course. Make a list of all the games you like, write down the platforms alongside them and decide for yourself. PS - Like you mentioned, you prefer UC and Killzone, that alone could be the biggest reason for a PS3 purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The JACKAL Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 @jackal Such a one-liner should have some of the best reasons behind it, can u point a few of them? if u want to play these games on your big screen tv then ull get a xbox360 mass effect 2 alan wake halo reach crackdown2 modern warfare 2 upcoming dlc metro 2033 splinter cell convictions and more... i wont waste my time typing.

memnom Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 @jackal, of all the games u mentioned the one game i like is AW. rest i played or will play in my pc. @Ank, well if u want to convince your dad for a HD tv (who's also into light gaming), whats better way than to show a pixellated SD game screen and ask for an upgrade? besides i got a 24" Dell with my rig.

memnom Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 @freelancer, you really think i started this for getting the 50 posts mark? either that was your MO when u started out or u don't know the difference between a real request and the likes of you. the point of my thread is to get justification on those point from those who has hands-on experience on one or both of the consoles. if u dont have anything good to add except "crying wolf" and warmongering it would be best if u could take leave of this thread. PS. im just kidding bru, i just watched "disgustoid" and i couldn't refrain myself from making an association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
